Obamacare reigns Supreme

June 28, 2012 | Filed under 2012 Presidential Race | Posted by

Just look at yourselves. You thought it would be easy. You figured the Supreme Court would do your dirty work.  Oh, boo hoo, John Roberts betrayed us!  Thank you, yet again, George W. Bush.  Obamacare is clearly unconstitutional and Roberts screwed us.

Pussies.  You know what’s unconstitutional?  What five justices say is unconstitutional.  You know what conservatives pinning their hopes on the SCOTUS is?  Delusional.  How did you let yourself fall into that trap?  There are four guaranteed votes for more expansive and powerful government every single case.  If a monolithic voting bloc exists it’s on the left side of the chamber.  All they’ve got to do is peel one of the other five (two?  Kennedy and Roberts?).

Oh sure, a left-leaning justice will occassionally have no choice but to follow precedent or accept at face value a plainly written law.  But if there’s any ambiguity and the argument boils down to whether or not government’s power is limited they will vote for unlimited power every time.

On the big cases, the ones that really matter, the SCOTUS leans conservatives maybe, what, 30% of the time?  Surely someone’s compiled statistics on that.  It seems like 10%.  I rarely find myself satisfied with SCOTUS decisions.  The general consensus always seems to be, “Meh, the government can pretty much do what it wants.”

Yet all these conservative Carries ignored history and precedent, dolled themselves up and went to the prom anyway.  Did you have fun at the dance, dear?  Oooh!  President Obama is so scared of your psychic gym conflagration powers!  Look!  He’s hardly even spiking the ball at all.

Obamacare reigns Supreme.  There will be no easy solution, you will not hit the SCOTUS Powerball on constitutional limits to government power.  If you don’t like it you’re going to have to work to get it repealed.  And if you want to change the culture that sees no constitutional limit to government power you’re going to have to work hard for a long time.

I don’t know, hard work is hard.  We should probably just buy more lottery tickets during the next court session.

    Yeah, getting cancer should plunge your family into bankruptcy if you don’t have health insurance.

    That’s why there are ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ — so the haves have something to gloat over when the have nots lives are ruined.

    Don’t replace Obama Care… no, no — just repeal it and move on. Dont suggest that something better can replace ObamaCare. Eight years of Bush showed us that the push for health care reform under the Clinton administration was just liberal pipe dream. Conservatives don’t give a flying crap about poor Americans. Hell, most of those poor are colored anyway – who gives a shit?

    Until today.

    Until the Supreme Court of the United States bitch slapped Mitt Romney and the loud mouth buffoons who hate some Americans so much they want them dead or left with ruined lives.

    It’s a great day for America, as great as the day that Social Security for all was rammed down conservatives throats.

      You lost me at the color part. Somehow you always fall back into that.

      Yeah, well when the Free Shit Express fully bankrupts the US it will be the ones with the guns who are doing the bitch slapping. Maybe the South will rise again. Only this time we’ll be fighting against slavery.

      You must really hate your kids. You’re fighting tooth and nail to ensure they inherit more debt than every other civilization known to mankind combined ever accumulated.

      Yep, Grumpy likes it when totalitarian actions happen.

      He also likes to make unfounded accusations of racism which are little more than projections of his own hate.

      Dude the Executive, Judicial & Legislative are the haves. We the people are the have nots.

    • GarandFan

      Always have to lean on race don’t you? And again with the “hate”. You sure project a lot.

      Now tell us once again “IT ISN’T A TAX!”

      And Social Security is going broke. Or are you going to tell us that all that money “is in a lockbox”?

      Actually, you racist piece of crap, there are more poor whites than poor blacks or poor Hispanics (in case you are including them in colored).

      And everything the government gives you is free.

      Until there’s no more money to pay for it.

    If this was really for the poor, if this was really for the uninsured, then Obama would have had 16,000 insurance agents at the ready when it was upheld…..not IRS agents. Chills the blood doesn’t it?
